   To resolve the error "Expected table, found '(' (at char 28), (line:3, 
col:3)" when creating a chart from a basic column retrieval in a DynamoDB table 
with numbers, you need to ensure that the SQL query or expression you are using 
is correctly formatted and does not contain any syntax errors.
   
   Here is a step-by-step approach to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:
   
   1. **Check the SQL Expression**: Ensure that the SQL expression used in the 
chart configuration is correct. For example, if you are using a custom 
expression, make sure it follows the correct syntax.
   
   2. **Validate Column Names and Types**: Ensure that the column names and 
types in your DynamoDB table match those expected by the chart configuration. 
For example, if you are using a column named `TotalAlerts`, ensure it is 
correctly defined as a numeric type.
   
   3. **Review the Chart Configuration**: Verify that the chart configuration 
in Superset is correctly set up. For example, ensure that the `groupby` and 
`metrics` fields are correctly specified.
   
   Here is an example of a correctly formatted SQL expression for a metric:
   
   ```sql
   SELECT COUNT(*)
   FROM AlertsMetrics
   ```
   
   And here is an example of a correctly configured chart configuration in JSON 
format:
   
   ```json
   {
     "datasource": "3__table",
     "viz_type": "table",
     "slice_id": 86,
     "include_search": true,
     "url_params": {},
     "granularity_sqla": "ds",
     "time_grain_sqla": "P3M",
     "time_range": "No filter",
     "query_mode": "aggregate",
     "groupby": ["state", "gender", "name"],
     "metrics": [
       "sum__TotalAlerts"
     ]
   }
   ```
   
   Ensure that the `metrics` field contains valid metric expressions and that 
the `groupby` field contains valid column names.
   
   If the issue persists, review the specific SQL query or expression causing 
the error and correct any syntax issues
